Barbie is running into censorship headaches in the Middle East and could be banned. Warner Bros. is reportedly being asked to cut out alleged LGBTQ-related narration and dialogue.
’ local distribution partner – has pushed back the release of the hit Greta Gerwig film to Aug. 31 after initially setting a July 19 rollout out date for “Barbie” in the Middle East that would have allowed local audiences to see the film two days before its U.S. release.
These requested cuts do not seem likely to be approved by the studio. Therefore it’s likely, though not certain, that “Barbie” will not be released in at least some Middle East territories, including in, which is the region’s top market, as well as possibly other territories including the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Egypt.
Still, it’s not surprising that “Barbie,” a bold film centred around the iconic Western doll that is a symbol of American girlhood, is ruffling feathers in the Arab world. Several previous “Barbie” movies made for home video were banned in Saudi Arabia a decade ago due to racy clothing and the portrayal of women in non-traditional gender roles.
